“This is a mistake. Aggressive police action on students passive resistance will not bear good results”, Haasan Twitted. He also appealed to the students and youth not to resort to violence.

It has been six days since the protesters have been asking for a ‘permanent solution’ to remove the ban on Jallikattu. The protests turned into a massive people’s movement, with support pouring in from all fraternities including sports personalities, prominent actors and even politicians from the state.
